The Best Luxury Hotels to Book in Snowdonia, Wales
After a day hiking Mount Snowdon or cycling in northwest Wales, kick back in style and stay at one of the finest hotels in Snowdonia, where you’ll be treated to four-poster beds and swoon-worthy views over Snowdonia National Park. Choose from grand halls frequented by Queen Victoria, eclectic boutique B&Bs and luxury spa hotels in Snowdonia, bookable with Culture Trip.
1. Royal Oak Hotel
Boutique Hotel, Luxury
An old coaching inn transformed into luxury boutique accommodation, the Royal Oak Hotel in Betws-y-Coed epitomises decadence. The building’s heritage was given special attention during its renovation, so expect plush curtains, dark-wood beds and vintage slipper bathtubs. Decorated in earthy colours inspired by the Snowdonia landscape, it’s the ideal environment for enjoying a glass – or two – of champagne.
2. Waterloo Hotel Lodge
Luxury, Hotel
Rest and relaxation are on the agenda at this Snowdonia hotel – there’s a steam room, sauna and jacuzzi for unwinding after dips in the indoor pool. You can de-stress in your room too, whether you choose to bed down in the main building or in one of the sleek lodge-style spaces scattered around the lush grounds. For woodland walks, the leafy greenery in Gwydyr Forest is accessible from this Betws-y-Coed hotel.
3. Afon View Guest House
Luxury, Bed and Breakfast
This cosy bed and breakfast in Betws-y-Coed has seven ensuite rooms, but the luxury four-poster option, with its original 19th-century fireplace and cushy leather sofa, is particularly plush. You’ll have views of the woodland-strewn hills of the national park from your large window. After hiking up to the peak of Yr Wyddfa (Mount Snowdon), curl up on a high-backed chair next to the crackling fire in the shared lounge downstairs.
5. Celtic Royal Hotel
Hotel, Luxury
Follow in the footsteps of royalty at this colonnade-fronted hotel in characterful Caernarfon – Queen Victoria stayed here with her mother in 1832. The afternoon tea is fit for aristocracy with its dainty finger sandwiches and fruit-topped tarts, all perfectly laid out on a traditional cake stand. Work up an appetite with laps in the heated indoor swimming pool or simply wind down in the sauna, bubble pool and steam room.
6. The Tilman
Luxury
This modern hotel on the west coast of Snowdonia overlooking the Mawddach Estuary has been given a playful retro twist with its gleaming copper-fronted bar. If you’re looking to quench your thirst with an ale after a trek along the Wales Coast Path, there are 22 to choose from. Luxurious touches in the 11 rooms include crisp white bedding and contemporary ensuite bathrooms.
7. The Erskine Arms
Inn
This Georgian coaching inn within the Medieval walls in Conwy is just minutes on foot from a grand fortress. With verdant mountains behind and a rushing river in front, you’ll have memorable views from all the windows. When you’re not relishing in the refinement of your private space, sip on Clogwyn Gold beer from Conwy Brewery in the convivial pub downstairs.
8. Palé Hall Hotel
Luxury, Hotel, Hotel
This five-star Victorian hotel in Snowdonia has a host of accolades, including a triple-rosette and Michelin Green-starred restaurant. Set in the serene Dee Valley, it’s close to the majestic mountains, glacial lakes and stone-clad villages in Snowdonia National Park. There’s a woodland garden to explore and 4×4 off-road experiences organised through a local operator to enjoy.
9. Lansdowne House
Boutique Hotel
If you prefer the coast to the mountains, stay at the Lansdowne House in Llandudno, and you’ll be close to the Victorian pier and pastel-coloured townhouses. This boutique hotel has a clutch of comfortable rooms, some of which are decorated with modern chandeliers. There’s also an elegant dining room where a Welsh breakfast is served courtesy of the friendly owners, Mark and Amanda.
10. Meifod House
Luxury, Hotel
As soon as you walk into the black-and-white-tiled foyer at Meifod House, you’ll see this country hotel pays attention to detail. The well-appointed rooms are decorated in calming neutral tones, offset by polished hardwood furnishings and plush patterned rugs. Cosy up on comfortable cushions in the lounge after riding on the Snowdonia vintage railway – the hotel is just a few miles outside Snowdonia National Park.
